A. D. Henderson & FAU High School

Alexander D. Henderson University School (often referred to as ADHUS, A.D. Henderson, or Henderson) is an elementary-middle school (K-8) on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. We are not a part of the Palm Beach County School System, but we are a public laboratory school under the auspices of the State University System.

Our kindergarten through 8th grade students come to us through a lottery system from predominantly the Broward and Palm Beach county areas. Our classes are small and our parent involvement is wonderful!

The faculty members at Henderson have a variety of experience and many are instructors at the University level as well. Our teachers are all involved in research to help Henderson and other Florida schools grow to their fullest potential.

In addition to our outstanding academic program, we offer a variety of extracurricular activities as well as an After School Program.

Florida Atlantic University High School (FAU HS) is a dual enrollment high school on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.

Our school is unique in the way that students spend their 9th grade year in a typical high school classroom setting, taking advanced coursework. This prepares them for Grades 10-12 where all classes are collegiate classes taken at the University for both high school and college credit. Typically, when students graduate from FAU HS, they have also earned three years worth of college credits. Some have even received their Bachelor Degree!

We have been rated an “A” school for the last 12 years. The Dean of the College of Education, Dr. Valerie Bristor, is the Superintendent.
